From the moment man learned how to ascend off the ground, the
strategic significance of air intelligence became apparent. This
relatively new discipline the first dedicated air reconnaissance
missions were undertaken in 1870 during the siege of Paris when
tethered French balloons were employed to spot enemy positions and
direct artillery fire onto them has developed at an astonishing
speed. Over the past century air intelligence has moved from
hazardous observation balloons to micro-circuitry, which can send
pictures from a video camera mounted on a remotely-controlled
vehicle the size of a hummingbird. The Historical Dictionary of Air
Intelligence relates the evolving history of the rapidly advancing
field of air intelligence. A chronology, an introductory essay, and
cross-referenced dictionary entries on the agencies, agents,
operations, equipment, tradecraft, and jargon of air intelligence
make this reference as essential as it is fascinating."
